उत्तर
No. Electromagnets can only attract magnetic materials. A plastic bag is a non-magnetic material and will not be attracted by an electromagnet. Hence, an electromagnet cannot be used to separate plastic bags from a garbage heap.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.

- What is a short circuit?
